Terrible, idiotic movies that suffer delusions of grandeur, that think they are profound and intelligent when they are, in fact, utterly stupid, shallow, and incompetent, are some of my favorite movies.

I think people who call Cage’s performances “bad acting” are mistaken. Bad acting, in my opinion, is painfully dull and unmemorable. It’s the poison of the mundane. Cage may be a lot of things, but he’s rarely half-assing it, even in the worst of his movies, and he’s rarely mundane or dull. I’ll take that any day over bland and boring.

You know, every time I see the title of this podcast/movie, I mistake it for a second for “Dead Space,” and then I start thinking about a movie where Cage fights space zombies, and that puts me in a very happy place.
